Dear markmcgee89,
Thank you very much for submitting this complaint. I'm sorry to hear about your negative experience with Jokabet Casino.
First of all, we do not mediate complaints from players who are able to register and play despite being from a restricted country. We believe that it is the casino's responsibility to implement software checks that prevent players from restricted jurisdictions from accessing their website. If a casino allows a player from a restricted country to play due to the absence of such checks, it should acknowledge this as its mistake and honor any winnings, provided the player has not violated any other rules. On the other hand, if a player from a restricted country deposits and loses, we believe they are not entitled to a refund, as they willingly engaged in play.
Regarding the issue with your missing funds, do you have any screenshots or evidence showing that your balance disappeared without you playing? If you suspect your account was hacked or compromised by a third party and your funds were stolen, this is a matter for the police and your bank to handle, rather than a mediator like us.
Lastly, could you please send me the chat transcript or screenshot of the self-exclusion request you made in this casino a few weeks ago at veronika.l@casino.guru? Did you specify the reason for why you wished to self-exclude?
I hope we will be able to help you resolve this issue as soon as possible. Thank you in advance for your reply.
Best regards
Veronika
